The procedure for replacing a car battery is quite standard; the steps are always the same, as shown in the attached video guide. Here are the operational steps to follow: with the engine off, open the bonnet, disconnect the negative terminal, identifiable by the black cable, then the positive, red one, remove the upper crossbar, which protects the battery, grasp the battery by the handle provided and pull it out of its seat.

The only difference when installing the new one will be to connect the positive terminal first and then the negative.
